Powering the Smart Factory & Smart City Bavarian USA Roadshow

As part of “Deutschlandjahr 2019“, the Bavarian U.S. Offices for Economic Development is going out on the “ROAD” with our Powering the Smart Factory and the Smart City Roadshowin April. This is an opportunity for innovators, founders, global players, investors, city and state representatives and other private and public sector leaders, who are building and running smart cities and smart factories, to learn how their passion is addressed in Bavaria. Bavaria is Germany’s premier hub for mobility, Europe’s top-tech hub and a global forerunner in smart factories. Our roster includes, so far, 3 cities in America’s industrial heartland: Pittsburgh, Columbus and Detroit, and we are looking forward to meetingYOU there.

Join us for engaging talks by executives from German companies and from our partner cities in the areas of Smart Factory and Smart City as well as speed pitches by local startups and growth companies. During the post event reception, local startups and growth companies will have the chance to network the Bavarian way, at the Bavarian “Beer-Bench” Speed Networking. Sit down with Bavarian global players and German Mittelstand companies at a typical Oktoberfest style table. In a fun setting you will get insights into the smart city and smart factory landscapes in Germany while getting to know German companies looking to collaborate with innovators like you!
